er ... alright ... i spent quite a while to read up all of this ...
i've got to say ... punctuation really helps .
But perhaps it's kind of practice to read without puntuations ?

No, it's not you. It is difficult, even when English is your first language. And with Ekin, sometimes you just can't make it out, no matter how many ways you turn it around and dissect it. It's just not clear.

Hi ekin,

Well, please allow me to be the first to formally ask if you would use punctuation on occasion. So here goes.

Can you please use a bit of punctuation to help those of us know when one thought has finished and a new one has begun?

I agree that online chatting is informal. I'm not expecting perfect grammer of punctuation - but - every now and then, just use a few of the symbols that are on your keyboard, so we know when to pause, when to start afresh etc...

No need to respond as such to me. but as you go about your HP chatting - the proof will be in the typing (and the reading)

All the best.

Thank you gingo for asking me so politely. From now on when typing multiple thoughts I shall punctuate and capitilize my sentences.

Hey ekin...

thanks! Capitilising is a bonus really. I don't always do that.
But I do try some of the symbols. it's pretty bad when the elementary rules are quickly forgotten... (it happens as we get older). I think I've developed my own 'punctuating rules'.

But using punctuation for the separation of multiple thoughts - that is awesome.

Cheers dear
